I still don't understand why we are part of the GLB folk!! We really have nothing in common other maybe being hated for being ourselves. But even then a lot of the GLB folks hate us as well!! It is difficult for me as I am also a lesbian! So I belong and I don't!! Even then I am not welcome to a lot of lesbian venues!!<br />My reaction is to date other trans women!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08711844983489698434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-132590940508437285.post-53740341573902296652011-01-15T07:28:52.001-08:002011-01-15T07:28:52.001-08:00Excellent "open letter".

Sure, it's ok for someone to just call another person a pig, dog, skunk, T**ny, or anything right?...just a word....means nothing...certainly vitriol is never spewed via the spoken word like venomous poison from a snake....nah....can't be. Human, sub-human, don't matter. Words never represent images...they never serve to "sub-humanize" broad groups of people. Certainly, if Hitler had used the power of the word his "ultimate solution" would have been successful to the count of millions...oh I am sorry---this is exactly what he did! I have been wrong for 50 years....stupid me...thinking that words actually create images which in turn arouse emotion which leads to action....which deprives our brothers and sisters of their lives...oh one more thing...certainly our gay brethren would never ever disparage us by using the dreaded T word would they...just like the "straight" community...would they?...would they? <br /><br />It is long overdue that we unite under our own roof. Gay men love other men. Lesbian women love other women. Bisexual persons love either me or women. We who are or have undergone Gender Reassignment Transition love ourselves---finally. This is the one but redefining difference. Separation is not equal to hate. It is time to separate from LGBT....Dee Omallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01658512882028641969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-132590940508437285.post-85930638737845933402011-01-14T21:41:02.420-08:002011-01-14T21:41:02.420-08:00I read from facebook the thought provoking article...I read from facebook the thought provoking article.

They then end up co-mingling in all the other traits and characteristics of these different groups and we end up painting everyone under that umbrella with the same brush. So rather than having a brilliant rainbow under the umbrella, we all end up looking a rather yucky gray/brown color.<br /><br />I am sorry you have been silenced like this. In the broadness of the trans spectrum, surely there is room for ALL trans experiences and stories? And if so, that should include yours and others who feel as do you that. The ends of the spectrum should have as much rights of expression and respect as the middle as well as vice versa.<br /><br />Please do not stop the dialog, there has to be a common ground here that if we can but find it.Nickinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-132590940508437285.post-22225623187817553902011-01-13T02:23:02.058-08:002011-01-13T02:23:02.058-08:00Ashley, I agree completely with what you say.

But those two words mean nothing from me. Or perhaps they do, I don't know. <br /><br />I hate that you, and others, have gone through this and are continuing to go through it. I hate that the fear, anger, resentment, and jokes are there. I hate that you and others are made to feel this way. I hate that word; the sound of it grates against me. The meaning, the insinuation. <br /><br />And thank you, humanity, for proving to me yet again that that no matter what demographic you're a part of there is always someone you think you're better than.Patchwork Urchinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-132590940508437285.post-62972240392285986602010-12-17T08:47:01.685-08:002010-12-17T08:47:01.685-08:00Very well put but I would add one more group you m...Very well put but I would add one more group you might want to address.
